The Selenium Rectifier has long been

accepted as an efficient, long lived means of converting alternating

current to direct current in industrial applications with relatively

large power requirements. During the past four years the field of

application of selenium rectifiers was expanded to include radio

and television receivers as well as all types of electronic and mo-

bile equipment. Many millions of units are now in use in these

applications.

Perhaps the greatest factors in this

tremendous expansion have been the application of mass produc-

tion techniques and rapid advance in engineering. The result has

been a high quality product at low cost.

The Sarkes Tarzian organization in-

cludes a staff of expert engineers who thoroughly investigate each

application in the laboratories before submitting recommenda-

tions. Also, constant research is being carried on to maintain the

quality of production and develop rectifiers with higher inverse

voltage ratings.

The entire facilities of the Sarkes

Tarzian engineering department are available to assist you with

Typical Circuits Using

SELENIUM RECTIFIERS

The radio "Centre-Kooled” selenium rectifier has found wide application in

all phases of radio, television and electronic design. This versatile unit has completely

changed concepts of D. C. power supply design. Where it had previously been con-

sidered impractical to use voltage multiplier circuits because of complicacy of supply-

ing power to the filaments, the selenium rectifier is now in wide use in voltage

doubler, voltage tripler and voltage quadruplet circuits. Voltage multipliers elimi-

nate the need for a power transformer as well as a rectifier tube. The high efficiency,

cool operation, compactness and light weight of selenium rectifiers have made thempopular in television receivers, all types of radio receivers and many electronic

equipments.

HALF WAVE RECTIFIER

The simplest single phase Selenium Rectifier power supply, shown in figure 1,

requires only a single rectifier and an electrolytic capacitor. Since the rectifier in this

circuit conducts only when the upper A. C. input terminal is positive the first filter

capacitor is charged only once during each cycle of the supply voltage. The ripple

frequency therefore is equal to the supply voltage frequency. For this reason it is

recommended that somewhat larger values of components in the filter network than

would normally be required in a circuit in which the input capacitor is charged

during each half cycle and the ripple frequence thereby double that of the input

frequency.

When the rectifier is conducting during the half cycle the upper A. C. terminal is

positive, the first filter capacitor, Ci, will become charged instantaneously to the peak

of the A. C. input voltage (less the conducting voltage drop through the rectifier) and

maintain the D. C. voltage during the negative half cycle. The average D. C. voltage

across Ci is dependent on two factors, (1) The microfarad value of the input capacitor,

and (2) the milliamperes of current drawn by the load. A larger value of filter capacity

also improves voltage regulation while decreasing the ripple component.

The function of Ri (Fig. 1), the surge limiting resistor, is to minimize the large

surge currents prevalent in half wave circuits. Current flowing through Ri causes a

voltage drop which is greatest when the surge current reaches its peak and assumes

a steady value when, after the first few cycles, the capacitor becomes fully charged.

Ri also acts as a fuse in the circuit and protects relatively expensive components in the

event of a short circuit across the load.

Voltage regulations of 15 to 20% may be realized depending on choice of com-

ponents and load current. The nominal voltage drop in a typical radio type selenium

rectifier rated at 130 volts A. C. input is approximately 5 volts.

LOAD

The voltage doubler is the most frequently used transformerless voltage multiplier

circuit. The no load D. C. output voltage of a voltage doubler circuit is 2.82 times the

RMS value of the input voltage.

The design engineer can choose between two types of voltage doubler circuits.

The half wave voltage doubler is shown in figure 2A; the full wave or symmetrical

voltage doubler in figure 2B. The half wave circuit has the advantage that one side

of the A. C. supply is common with the negative D. C. output, thereby minimizinghum difficulties and secondly, it is not necessary to use identical capacitors in the

doubler circuit. In the full wave or symmetrical voltage doubler circuit the negative

D. C. terminal can not be made common to one side of the A. C. supply and this in-

creases the possibilities of hum in high gain amplifiers. The advantages of the full

wave or symmetrical voltage doubler are: lower ripple component; better voltage

regulation and ripple frequency double that of the A. C. supply. It is important that

the capacities of Cj^ and C 2B are kept as nearly equal as possible to keep the load

divided equally between the two rectifiers.

The functions of Ria and Rib in the voltage doubler circuits are identical to

those of Ri in the halt wave circuit; to limit the initial surge current while the

capacitor is being charged and to act as a fuse in the event a short circuit is caused

across the load.

Maximum voltage regulation and minimum ripple are acquired by use of large

values of capacity.

VOLTAGE TRIPLER

Although less popular than the voltage doubler circuits, the voltage triplet has

found application where voltages in excess of those delivered by voltage doublers

are required. The typical half wave voltage triplet is illustrated in figure 3A. Themodified form of the voltage triplet illustrated in figure 3B has been widely used in

television receivers to develop bias voltage for the cathode ray tube as well as provide

nominal B-|- voltage to power the set. The rating of RS.s in the circuit need be only

as large as the current requirement, usually in the order of 50 to 65 milliamperes.

The values of RSi and RS2 will depend on the current drawn by the tube complementof the receiver.

The voltage regulation and ripple percentage of the circuit depend on the values

of capacitance used. Ri^^ and Rjp act as surge limiting resistors.

VOLTAGE QUADRUPLER

Theoretically it is possible by adding successive stages of rectifier-condenser com-

binations, to multiply the source voltage to infinite values;however, from economic

and efficiency standpoints the practical limit in commercial applications of voltage

multiplier circuits is the voltage quadruplet. The voltage quadruplet will deliver,

under no load conditions, an approximate D. C. output voltage 5.65 times the RMSvalue of the source voltage. Figure 4A shows a typical voltage quadruplet circuit in

which the negative D. C. terminal is connected to one side of the A. C. supply. Figure

4B shows a quadruplet circuit in common use wherein equal outputs are delivered

both above and below' chassis potential.

Large values of capacitance are required for low ripple and good regulation.

BRIDGE RECTIFIER

The bridge rectifier, Fig. 5, is recommended for use in equipments which require

extremely good regulation and small ripple voltage components in the output. High

ripple frequency and rectification during each half of the input voltage cycle allow

the use of relatively low values of filter components. The efficiency of a single phase

bridge. Fig. 5A, is approximately 70 percent and approximately 90 percent in a three

phase bridge, Fig. 5B. Although commonly used in applications where relatively

high currents are required it is possible nonetheless to connect four standard half

wave radio type rectifiers into a bridge circuit for electronic equipment.

Many suggested applications are listed in this manual; however, these represent

only a small portion of possible applications and circuits. It is being left to the

ingenuity of the engineer and technician to develop circuits to fit his applications

from the suggestions contained herein.

Home Receivers The selenium rectifier has been

widely accepted by leading radio manufacturers as a standard component

in all types of portable, table model, console, phonograph and combina-

tion radio-phonograph sets. A few of the features that have made the

selenium rectifier popular are—reduced internal heat, because of elimina-

tion of the filament, increased sensitivity in the set, because of more power

output realized by increased output voltage from the B+ power supply

and in portable radios, the instant starting feature because the rectifier

requires no "warm-up” time.

On succeeding pages appear a few of the many typical applications of

the selenium rectifier in home receivers.

Television The impact of television on American econ-

a tribute to the progressive design engineers who have spared no effort

to decrease the cost of television receivers and make them available to con-

sumers in all income groups. These same progressive engineers have real-

ized the advantages of selenium rectifiers and are including them as a

standard component in many of the sets they design. This is not surprising

when the advantages of small size, light weight, low cost, high efficiency,

flexibility of design, and high overload factors are realized.

Communications Many large manufacturers of

Communications equipment are using the Sarkes Tarzian Selenium Recti-

fier in vibrator power supplies for mobile receiver - transmitters, as

well as fixed central stations. Of particular interest to the engineer is the

increase in vibrator life because of elimination of high transient voltages

through the reverse conductivity of the selenium rectifier. Also, the high

ambient temperatures and temporary overload conditions prevalent in

communications equipment require a component that is rugged and de-

pendable. The selenium rectifier has met all field requirements and is be-

coming increasingly more popular.

THE SELENIUM RECTIFIERThe fields of application of selenium rectifiers have steadily ex-

panded and today the selenium rectifier is accepted by industry as an

efficient and economical means of converting alternating current -to

direct current. Over a period of years, selenium rectifiers have proved

their characteristics of long life, dependability and maintenance free

operation under severe operating conditions.

Basically, the selenium rectifier consists of a nickel plated aluminum

base plate coated with selenium over which a low temperature alloy is

sprayed. The aluminum base plate serves as the negative electrode

and the alloy as the positive, with current flowing readily from the

base plate to the alloy but encountering high resistance in the opposite

direction. This phenomena results in effective rectification of an

alternating input voltage and current with the efficiency of conversion

dependent to some extent of the ratio of the resistance in the conduct-

ing direction to that of the blocking direction. In normal power ap-

plications a ratio of 100 to 1 is satisfactory; however, special applica-

tions, such as magnetic amplifiers, often require ratios in the order

1000 to 1.

The basic selenium rectifier cell is actually a diode capable of half

wave rectification; however., since many applications require full wave

direct current for maximum efficiency and minimum ripple, a plural-

ity of cells in series, parallel, or series-parallel combinations are stack-

ed in an assembly. Since practically an unlimited number of combina-

tions are possible with available cell sizes, most applications are con-

sidered individually and suitable selenium rectifier stacks, custom

designed for the specific application, are recommended by the manu-

facturer.

Selenium rectifiers are operated over a wide range of voltages and

currents and are adaptable to a wide range of physical requirements.

Selenium rectifiers will operate at high efficiency over a temperature

range of —55° centigrade to 100° centigrade, and when suitably fin-

ished can withstand long period exposures to salt and humid atmos-

pheres. Typical applications range from a few volts at milliamperes

of current to thousands of amperes at relatively high voltages. For in-

stance, it is practical to use selenium rectifiers in a cyclotron applica-

tion which may require 50,000 volts at 5 milliamperes or in electro-

plating and electrolosis equipments which require up to 100,000 am-

50

peres with voltages in the order of 50 volts D.C. Regardless of power,

voltage, or current requirements, wherever direct current is either nec-

essary or desirable, selenium rectifiers will deliver direct current power

both economically and efficiently. On following pages a few typical

rectifier designs are tabulated to serve as a guide to engineers. These

represent only a few of the many possible and practical designs; there-

fore, if the rectifier to meet your requirement is not listed a letter or

phone call will result in an immediate recommendation.

Efficiency

The efficiency of Sarkes Tarzian rectifiers is high, usually in the

order of 90% in three phase bridge circuits and 70% in single, phase

bridge circuits. Of particular interest is the very slight decrease in

efficiency even at high current overloads; Figure 1 shows a decrease

of only 10% in the efficiency of a three phase bridge circuit as the

load current is increased to 300% of normal rated values; in the single

phase bridge the decrease is only 5% under the same conditions. These

data are pertinent to engineers who anticipate forced air cooling and

large current overload factors in their equipment. The efficiency

curves shown in Figure 1 are for normal operating conditions, at low

temperatures the efficiency will decrease somewhat.

AgingUnder operating conditions, and, to a lesser extent, when idle, the

selenium rectifier will age. During the aging period the forward and

reverse resistances will increase gradually, and, after approximately

one year, stabilize. This aging will result in approximately a 7% de-

crease in output voltage, therefore, in extremely critical applications,

aging taps should be provided on the transformer to compensate for

the increase in the rectifier resistance. Sarkes Tarzian power type

rectifiers will last indefinitely when properly installed and operated

within recommended ratings.

Forced Air CoolingIt is possible with forced ventilation, to operate selenium rectifiers

at 250% of their normal load current rating. This results in less ex-

pensive and more compact rectifier designs for high current applica-

tions; however, it is essential to limit the operating temperature by a

sufficient volume of air. Also provisions should be made to disconnect

the load if for any reason the flow of air is interrupted. All recom-mendations made by the manufacturer should be followed to insure

long rectifier life.

FIGURE 3

Voltage RegulationThe selenium rectifier has extremely low internal impedance which

exhibits ijon-linear characteristics with respect to applied voltage. This

results in very good voltage regulation even at large multiples of

normal current. Figure 2 shows that as the load is varied from 0 to

300% of normal, the output voltage will change approximately 10%.

It should be noted that because of non-linear characteristics, the volt-

age drop increases rapidly below 50% of normal load, and should be

taken into consideration in applications requiring very small load

currents. The curve in figure 2 applies to single phase full wave

bridge, and center tap circuits which utilize both halves of the input

wave shape. In single phase half wave circuits the regulation will be

poorer; in three phase circuits the regulation will be better.

Thermal CharacteristicsThe selenium rectifier is a thermally as well as electrically rated de-

vice, and special consideration must be given at extreme temperatureranges. The forward and reverse resistances of selenium rectifiers arenon linear with respect to temperature. Figure 5 shows the relative

change in reverse resistance as the temperature is varied from — 20°

centigrade to -j- 100° centigrade. Figure 3 shows the dynamic changein forward resistance at various temperatures; figure 4 shows static

isothermal characteristics under the same conditions. Research in theSarkes Tarzian laboratories has resulted in development of seleniumrectifiers capable of operating, without derating in ambient tempera-tures as high as 90° centigrade for a minimum of 1000 hours. Thisnew development results in extremely small rectifier designs for hightemperature applications where extremely long life is not a prime re-

quisite.

ISOTHERMAL CHARACTERISTICSFOR SELENIUM RECTIFIER CELLS

FIGURE 4

By nature of their

construction, seleniumrectifiers have a con-

siderable amount of in-

herent capacity whichlimits their operating

range to audio frequen-

cies. The approximatecapacity ranges from .1 to .15 microfarads per square inch of rectifying

area. Figure 6 shows reverse current per square inch of rectifying area

versus frequency. From these data it is apparent that there is very

little decrease in reverse resistance and efficiency over a frequency

range of 20 to 1500 cycles per second; however the curve breaks sharp-

ly above 1500 cycles when the interelectrode capacity becomes a factor.

Figure 7 shows D.C. output voltage versus frequency and it may beconcluded that frequency has virtually no effect on the forward im-

pedance of the rectifier. The output curve is flat from 20 to 20,000

cycles per second.

Threshold VoltageA minimum voltage is required to make a selenium rectifier con-

duct in the forward direction. This voltage, commonly known as the"threshold voltage,” precludes the use of selenium rectifiers at ex-tremely low voltage (less than 1 volt) applications. The thresholdvoltages vary with temperature and will increase with a decrease intemperature. Figure 4 shows that under static conditions the thresholdvoltage will increase from .25 volts at plus 75° centigrade to .55 voltsat minus 55° centigrade. Under dynamic conditions (Figure 3) the re-sults are nearly identical; the threshold voltage increases from .25 voltsat plus 100° centigrade to .6 volts at minus 50° centigrade.

Special Applications

The unusual characteristics exhibited by selenium rectifiers have

led to their wide-spread use in many special applications. For ex-

ample: the non linear voltage and current relation in the conducting

direction lends itself to voltage regulation wherein at normal voltages

a very small current flows through the rectifier, however, as the volt-

age tends to increase even a fraction of one volt, the current through

the rectifier increases very rapidly and the voltage decreases to its

normal value, also utilization of the threshold voltage phenomena re-

sults in the use of rectifiers as protective devices shunt connected across

delicate measuring equipment. The instantaneous conduction and rela-

tively high reverse to forward resistance ratios found in selenium

rectifiers have led to their use as spark quenchers in inductive circuits.

Compact design for relatively large power requirements has also re-

sulted in the popular use of selenium rectifiers in computers, calcula-

tors, and magnetic amplifiers. These are but a few of the many pos-

sible applications and are mentioned to illustrate the versatility of the

rectifier. Whatever your problem on direct current circuits or power

CONVENTIONAL CIRCUITS

The Sarkes Tarzian Selenium Rectifier, in series-parallel connectionsprovides a device that is adaptable to many applications. The most populartypes of circuits in which Selenium Rectifiers are used are as follows

:

1. Single Phase—Half Wave (Figure 8-A, Page 59)

Half wave rectification is generally used for small power applica-tions. The ripple frequency is high since the rectifier conducts onlyduring the positive half of the input cycle; the negative half beingsuppressed by the high reverse impedance of the rectifier. Theripple frequency is equal to the supply frequency. The efficiencyof the half wave circuit is low and special transformer design is

required to prevent poor regulation.

2. Single Phase—Full Wave Bridge (Figure 8-B, Page 59)

The bridge gives full wave rectification and is suitable for relativelyhigh power applications. Efficiencies in the order of 75% are realizedsince both halves of the input cycle are utilized in the load. The ripplefrequency is double that of the supply frequency; consequently the rip-

ple percentage is not objectionably high for normal applications. Thebridge connection is popular because of its flexibility, simplicity andutilization of an economical transformer design.

5. Single Phase—Full Wave Center Tap (Figure 8-C, Page 59)

As in the bridge circuit the ripple frequency of the output is doublethat of the supply frequency and both halves of the input cycle areutilized in the load. However transformer design is more complicatedsince a center tapped transformer with a terminal voltage approximately2.7 times the load voltage is required. This connection is economicalwhere low D. C. voltage is employed (approximately 9 volts max.).

Three Phase—Half Wave (Figure 8~D, Page 59)

The three phase—half wave connection is used in low D.C. volt-age applications where cost is of primary importance and a ripplefactor of 20% does not interfere. Due to the overlapping of thethree phases, output current flows throughout the entire cyclewith the ripple frequency three times the fundamental frequency

The Sarkes Tarzian Selenium Rectifier, in series-parallel connections

provides a device that is adaptable to many applications. The most popular

types of circuits in which Selenium Rectifiers are used are as follows

since both halves of the input cycle are utilized in the load. The ripple

frequency is double that of the supply frequency; consequently the rip-

ple percentage is not objectionably high for normal applications. The

Transformer design is critical for maximum regulation and effi-

ciency.

5. Three Phase Full Wave Bridge (Figure H-E, Page 59)

For heavy D. C. power requirements the three phase bridge is the

most useful and economical circuit. The ripple component of the load

current is high in frequency and is very small—approximately 4%,

which frequently does not require additional filtering. However, in the

event filtering is required the resulting 360 cycle ripple from a 60 cycle

source may easily be filtered by chokes and condensers. The three phase

full wave bridge circuit is characterized by a D. C. output voltage

approximately 20% higher than the applied phase voltage.

where heavy currents are required at low D. C. voltages. A transformer

with a six phase star secondary is required, (each phase winding of

the secondary is provided with a center tap.)

7. D. C. Valve

The single phase half wave rectifier is frequently used in D. C.

blocking and polarizing circuit as well as for discharging magnetic

fields and condensers. The D. C. voltage rating per cell in block-

ing application is slightly below the rms rating; however, the

allowable load current is higher.

Selenium Cell Ratings

Single phase current ratings are for resistive or inductive loads only. For battery, motor, orcapacitive loads the ratings are 80% of values shown above. All ratings are based on nor-mal convection cooling.

For fan cooling (approximate air velocity of 500 feet per minute) multiply normal spacedratings by 2.5.

Rectifier

Stacks

On succeeding pages a few of the typical selenium rec-

tifier stack assemblies are tabulated. These will assist en-

gineers to determine approximate physical and electrical

specifications of selenium rectifiers for various powerratings. The list should be used as a guide only since the

variable factors governing the design and use of selenium

rectifier stacks make it impossible to compile a list whichwill cover every application. All tabulated rectifier de-

signs use cells rated at 26 volts RMS per junction, how-ever, for special applications Sarkes Tarzian engineers will

oTten recommend 33 volt cells to conserve space or to

lower cost.

Sarkes Tarzian engineers will supply complete electri-

cal and physical specifications on custom designed recti-

fiers for your application—write or wire to 415 NorthCollege Avenue, Bloomington, Indiana or phone Bloom-ington 2-1435.

HIGH VOLTAGESELENIUM RECTIFIERS

The Sarkes Tarzian line of low current rectifiers have found wideapplication in photo-flash power supplies, cathode ray oscilloscopes,

high potential test equipment, and electronic equipments used by the

armed services. These compact units are primarily designed for use

in high voltage-low current applications; however, they are adaptable

to any low current application in either half wave or full wave cir-

cuits. Sarkes Tarzian type 0 rectifiers are rated at 5 milliamperes in

half wave circuits and 10 milliamperes in full wave bridge or center

tap circuits. The half wave rectifier stacks are available in either

glass enclosures, hermetically sealed for operation in humid or salt at-

mospheres or bakelite enclosures for normal commercial application.

The full wave rectifiers require special sealing or potting for operation

in highly humid or salt atmospheres.

Sarkes Tarzian type 1 rectifiers are rated at 25 milliamperes in half

wave circuits and 50 milliamperes in full wave bridge or center tap

circuits. Available in voltage ratings to 5000 volts; type 1 rectifiers

allow a great saving of space even in medium power applications.

Standard units are not hermetically sealed; however, for special ap-

plication Type 1 rectifiers can be capsulized or sealed in metal con-tainers.

A few typical assemblies of Sarkes Tarzian Type 0 and Type 1 recti-

fiers are listed at right to serve as a guide to engineers. For exact

recommendations consult or write Sarkes Tarzian engineers.
